Product Description
This flexible corner connector, specifically designed for the Philips Hue Lightstrip system, enables you to connect two lightstrips with a sharp angle and is more versatile than a hard 90-degree connector, which requires precise alignment of your two lightstrips. This flexible corner connector is 2 inches/50 mm long and can be folded over to give you a 1 inch/25 mm margin of error when installing your lightstrips.
This product is great for:
- Joining two light strips with a sharp corner
- Acting as a 2-inch/50 mm extension for breaks between light strips
- Flexing to adapt to installations where installation is difficult

I have a cut Philips Hue lightstrip and I need to add a Litcessory extension cable and connect another cut Philips Hue lightstrip. How do I do this?
To connect two cut lightstrips together with a Litcessory Extension Cable, you will need to use one of our 6-pin to cut-end products: a 6-Pin to Cut-End Extension Connector, a 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector, or a 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector (Solder-On). This will allow you to convert the cut end of the lightstrip into a 6-pin connector.
- Connect the cut-end connector side of the cable to the cut lightstrip.
- Plug the extension cable into the 6-pin side of the 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector.
- Connect a second 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector to the other cut lightstrip
I used a cut-end connector and now my lightstrip colors don’t match. How do I fix this?
If your lights are not the right colors after connecting a cut-end connector, this means that the cut-end connector is not making a solid connection with the solder points on the lightstrips. Try the following:
- Unplug the power source
- Ensure the backside of the solder points (the side opposite of the LED lights) are making contact with the cut-end connector’s metal prongs, and that the cut-end of the lightstrip is fully inserted.
- Close the lid of the cut-end connector and clamp down with a pair of pliers. Use plenty of pressure. You should hear a slight “snap”.
- To ensure your cut-end connector stays tight, you can wrap the cut-end connector tightly with electrical tape.
If you are still having issues after trying the above steps, please contact our awesome support team. We are always happy to help!
Can I insert a 6-pin connector into a cut-end connector?
No, you cannot insert a 6-pin connector into the cut-end connector. If you need to connect a lightstrip with a 6-pin to cut-end connector, you will need to use one of our 6-pin to cut-end products: a 6-Pin to Cut-End Extension Connector, a 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector or a 6-Pin to Cut-End (Solder On). This will allow you to convert the cut end of the lightstrip into a 6-pin connector.
Remember: Cut lightstrips connect only to cut-end connectors and 6-pin ends can only connect to 6-pin connectors. Cut lightstrips cannot connect to a 6-pin connector.
I have a cut Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus. How do I connect another Philips Hue Lightstrip to it?
If you are connecting the cut lightstrip to another cut lightstrip, you can use either of your cut-end to cut-end connectors: a Cut-End to Cut-End Connectors or a Cut-End to Cut-End Extensions Connector.
If you connecting the cut lightstrip to an uncut Philips Extension Lightstrip or a Litcessory product, you can use any of our 6-pin to cut-end products: a 6-Pin to Cut-End Extension Connector, a 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector or a 6-Pin to Cut-End Connector (Solder On). This will allow you to convert the cut end of the lightstrip into a 6-pin connector.

This will allow you to convert the cut end of the lightstrip into a 6-pin connector.
What is reverse polarity, and how do I fix it?
Reverse polarity happens when you plug in the wrong side of a 6-pin connector. The flow of electricity gets reversed, and the lightstrip won’t turn on. This is a common occurrence when setting up your project and it is easily fixed. Please take a look at our Troubleshooting Video.
